Telegram conversations are not end to end encrypted. If you do opt to use their end to end encrypted chat feature it only works on a 1:1 basis, and uses a dodgy protocol. The owner of telegram , company and employees are based in some of the most un-democratic police states in the world, where you have no privacy rights. To call Telegram a secure or private messaging service is laughable.
